A historic record for famous islands. The number of tourists from Poland is also growing.
Protests against the negative effects of tourism have not discouraged foreign visitors to the Canary Islands.
Canarian Weekly reports that the islands experienced a record June for international tourists. The National Statistics Institute (INE) reported that 1,078,407 international visitors arrived, representing a 3.15% increase compared to June 2024. Tourists spent more than a year ago. During the month, they contributed €1.56 billion to the local economy, nearly 8.5% more than last year.
Poles liked these two islandsWhich Canary Islands have Poles visited recently? Another ranking was prepared by the local tourist organization, Turismo de Islas Canarias. Fuerteventura is a hit. Compared to June of last year, 68 percent more people flew there from Poland (7,408 last year and 12,508 this year). Poles also like the lesser-known La Palma . However, the staggering 191.7 percent increase conceals smaller numbers. Last June, 180 people from Poland flew there, and 525 this year. Gran Canaria also recorded an increase, up 8.6 percent.
The tourist organization's list is based solely on the number of direct arrivals from individual countries, so the numbers may differ slightly from the list of the Statistical Institute and may also include residents of the Canary Islands arriving from Poland.
Beautiful landscapes and high temperatures in winterAlthough this archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean isn't the cheapest holiday destination in Spain, tourists are rewarded with high temperatures. Located approximately 200 km northwest of the African coast, it's a good option for a trip in autumn and winter. The volcanic islands are also known for their stunning beaches and mountainous landscapes. They can also be reached by budget airlines. Gran Canaria is one of Wizz Air's new destinations from Wrocław.
